Windows7RC guest on Linux host - which 3D graphics accelerator?

I'm running WS 6.5.3 on a Dell Inspiron 537 with Kubuntu 9.04. When I boot my Windows 7 RC guest it tells me that "3D graphics accelerator will be disabled. This computer does not have a 3D graphics system supported by VMware." Since my only use of Win7 is for video editing, I'm guessing I should upgrade my graphics card, if for no other reason than elimination of an annoying message. I would appreciate some help in choosing among the Dell graphics upgrade options.

Otherwise, Win7 runs very well on a guest configured as a Vista guest.

I know I shouldn't reply to my own post, but judging by no replies to date maybe I can boil it down to this: Is there a list anywhere of graphic cards supported by VMware?
